I finally got back to the sewing machine. And as it is the start of a new month, I need to make my blocks for Stash Bee. This time we had a lot of freedom to make our own pattern just use greens and blues and make a 6 inch block. I really like 6 inch blocks; I find they are easier to be precise in the piecing.
The project I most need to finish in the next 3 days is to cut out and sew a robe for my grandson. I promised him at Christmas. His brother received a robe, but he only received fleece blanket. I volunteered to make it into a robe for him. I ordered the pattern and a coordinating fabric for sleeves and such.
And I have started Lori Holt's Flea Market Flowers in the patriotic colors to hopefully be completed by the big celebration next year. It is my first time to use evenweave. I have had to do a lot of frogging!!!!
I like to do this in front of the tv each evening with my husband. I will say he sits way over on the other end of the couch to avoid the movements of my needle.
I'm looking forward to seeing how your grandson's robe turns out, the fabric looks nice and cozy.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look very nice, I like 6" blocks also. Your grandson will be very pleased when his robe is finished. He'll glad for it this winter. Happy stitching!
